The document discusses the use of magnesium phosphide (Mg3P2) as a fumigant for controlling insects and rodents in stored agricultural commodities. It outlines the formulation and composition of the fumigant, its regulatory approval by the UK authority, and the conditions under which it can be used. The project feasibility is demonstrated through successful negotiations and ongoing compliance with standards.

2. Aluminum and magnesium phosphide are used as fumigants to control insects and
rodents. They are primarily used for fumigation of stored raw agricultural
commodities, animal feeds, processed food commodities, and nonfood
commodities in sealed containers or structures.

3. Formulations based on magnesium phosphide (Mg3P2),
are the fumigant of choice for quick fumigations
• Pellets contain of 66% inert magnesium phsophide as active substance and
34% inert components, mainly ammonium carbamate amongst others, that
facilitate controlled outgassing of phosphine.Add your second bullet point

5. Action to address this was taken and the UK regulatory authority (CRD) granted a concession for
grain/raw commodity fumigations, following careful negotiations with the Register of Accredited
Metallic Phosphide Standards (RAMPS). Stock was supplied to fumigators for use without the
aforementioned plant protection restrictions, under specific conditions and this concession is still in
place until;
